Summary

Reducing Regression Execution Times`: Automated regression testing is crucial in software development to ensure high-quality products within time constraints. However, as feature coverage and permutation testing increase, execution times can become unacceptable. To improve execution times, companies can introduce Continuous Integration (CI) tools like CircleCI or Jenkins to manage automated regression executions, automate all manual steps, use dynamic timeouts, unlock the power of parallel execution and virtualization, build a fully integrated automation framework, and combat high script failure rates. By implementing these strategies, companies can achieve high levels of effectiveness in automated regression testing and reduce time spent on this critical process.
